Abstract: A comparison function based OCR method is employed for recognizing the nearest neighbor classification of an input vector S with respect to a library of T template vectors. The input vector S defines an unclassified symbol (the unknown input letter) and the T template vectors define the pre-classified characters (known letters of an alphabet font in memory). Nearest neighbor classification is an iterative OCR matching technique in which the closest match between the input vector and the template vectors is recognized by the exclusion of distant templates. The closest match (the nearest neighbor) is accepted as the proper identification of the input symbol. The OCR method is accelerated by employing the Triangle of Inequality Principle which excludes distant neighbors in bulk as the iteration cycles proceed. The sequence of selection of template vectors from the diminishing candidate group may be random or ordered. Ordered selections optimize the exclusion process resulting in a nearest neighbor classification of the input symbol with fewer iterations. The ordering may be based on the frequency of use of the template characters, or on "historical inference", the statistical likelihood that any known character will be followed (or preceded) by any particular character remaining in the candidate group.

Abstract: From the tendency of an inverter input power P i  or a motor dissipation power in a certain period is first estimated the tendency of the inverter input power P i  or the motor dissipation power in the next period. The target power to be generated is then set on the basis of the results of the estimation. Alternatively the target power to be generated is corrected in accordance with the quantities such as an accelerator angle θ A  indicating the load of the motor or a battery current I B  indicating the state of charge/discharge of the battery (16). Alternatively that period is compulsorily interrupted to start the next period. This will eliminate a delay arising from averaging the inverter input powers P i  or the motor dissipation power for use as the target power P in the next period, thus resulting in improved vehicle power efficiency and drive feeling.

Abstract: An automated demolding apparatus for reliably and repeatedly mechanically separating contact lens mold portions of a mold assembly without damaging the contact lens formed therebetween. The mold assembly includes a first front mold portion having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, and a corresponding second back mold portion also having a central mold section with a surrounding flange. A molded contact lens is formed between the front and back mold portions, and the flanges of the front and back mold portions are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The demolding apparatus includes restraining fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the first mold portion. A separating fixture includes separating fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the second mold portion. Before demolding, the second mold portion is irradiated by a laser beam, which is absorbed thereby to cause a substantial temperature gradient between the second mold portion and the contact lens being demolded. The temperature gradient causes a differential expansion and shifting of the surface of the heated second mold portion relative to the surface of the lens to lessen the adhesion therebetween to assist in separation of the mold portions, while leaving the lens in the first mold portion. During demolding, the separating fixture is rotated relative to the restraining fingers to progressively separate and peel the second mold portion from the first mold portion.
